At Sight Diagnostics, we are revolutionizing how blood diagnostics is done using computer vision and AI. Sight OLO, our machine-vision based CBC analyzer only needs two drops of blood to give you a full diagnostic answer where and when you need it. With hundreds of devices in the field, we are taking the next step on our journey to execute our vision of a complete Digitized Blood Diagnostics ecosystem.

In your role as an Algorithm Team Leader, you will:

• Be Part of the R&D team, manage relevant group members and report to the algorithm director.
• Lead the algorithm activities as directed by the algorithm director. These include algorithm research and development associated with the algorithms that convert the OLO images and signals output into useful customer insights as well as the algorithms associated with the device calibration and fail safes.
• Be responsible for planning and executing algorithm development projects from the requirement stage, conducting proof of concepts and algorithm benchmarks (including theoretical models and experimental setups), guiding design to V&V and assisting in hand-off to manufacturing of hardware and consumables. This may include designing experiments, protocols and data collections and summarizing their results in reports.
• Be responsible to guide team members in their ongoing work, define and prioritize tasks and to mentor their continual development. The team leader will also conduct hand-on work, as required.
• Be responsible for managing subcontractors utilized in the development work.
• Manage hiring processes to strengthen the team’s abilities and reach.
